In what I was hoping would be a weekly event now becoming not-even-monthly, here are some links I think you’d enjoy!
The Food That Makes You Gay- Jaya Saxena @ Eater
https://www.eater.com/24162871/food-makes-you-gay
An incredible and no-punches-held piece from the reliable Saxena about the queering of food and everything that’s fucked up with patriarchy and right-wing media. Since food = culture, and since food is a massive part of every book I write, this is an excellent read. I also recommend following up reading this with “The Pornography of Meat.”
But, in case you were worried, bigoted het ladies, Saxena is quick to remind us: “There are seemingly no foods that make you a lesbian.”
A new discovery about carbon dioxide is challenging decades-old ventilation doctrine – Megan Molteni @ Stat

TL:DR for the article is that you should open your windows a lot more and also don’t go to any crowded places with no ventilation. But also, fun fact: one reason your old apartment building’s radiator makes your place into a sauna is because during the Spanish Flu outbreak, people knew that opening windows, even in the winter, kept you from getting sick. Airflow, kids. Airflow.

One of the hardest parts of being in any creative industry is being thankful for representation and fairness, but still remaining thirsty for parity and equality. If you care about fully representative storytelling, give a watch to any of the Native-made TV shows and movies in this article, or comment with your favorite!
